TOP AIDE DUMPS CLINTON AS EMAILS2 SHAPES UP TO BE A DIFFERENT ANIMAL TO EMAILS1

Last night, heavy-hitting Clinton supporter Douglas Schoen revealed live on Fox News that “as of this moment I am withdrawing my support for Secretary Clinton”. Almost every media commentator is now assuming that we are dealing with national security and FBI revenge. But my instinct is that they may be missing two elements here: the sexual involvement of Anthony Weiner, and electoral crimes.

For some weeks now I have seen the Hillary emails saga as a turf-scuffle between the FBI and the Department of Justice, with the CIA quietly concerned in the background about anyone as senior as Clinton using a personal server for classified conversations.

Much play is being made of the FBI’s Director Comey having “had his hand forced” by other senior bigwigs there because “the original investigation was such an obvious whitewash” and “a cave-in by Comey after Bill put the fix in with Lorette Lynch at Justice”.

Indeed, this morning, a former CIA operative states unequivocally that “no senior official uses private email for official duties, period. When faced with an investigation, Clinton’s staff deleted thousands of emails before handing them over. It was a cover-up, pure and simple”.

The central issue has usually – almost always, in fact – been presented as national security. But I’m not so sure.

Let’s look at Schoen first.

Douglas Schoen is a polling consultant and close intimate of both the Clintons, having been active in all their elections. Rather than being either vague or inflammatory, Doug Schoen was logical and appeared only to be concerned about the Constitutional implications. “We cannot,” he said bluntly, “let a Presidential candidate be elected while under a serious criminal investigation that could go on for months”.

However, Doug dropped the nuclear bomb on Fox News, a Murdoch Channel. He writes regularly for the Wall Street Journal, where pretty much all his pieces this year have cast doubt on Clinton’s electability. He has expressed surprise in private that Bernie Sanders, for example, was seen off so easily. The Journal is owned by Murdoch. When the news broke of Comey’s decision last week, the New York Post went straight for the jugular, calling the scandal ‘dickyleaks’ in honour of Anthony Weiner’s proclivities. The Post is owned by Murdoch.

From having been a massive donor and balls-out supporter, Rupert Murdoch seems to have morphed into a man on a mission to keep Clinton out of the White House at all costs. Why? Could it be – embroiled as he is in the Deutsche Bank cliffhanger – the Antipodean Doodle Dandy has learned of something inside the DoJ that makes Hillary a Class A liability?

Now let’s examine the reaction of Donald Trump to the Comey decision.

It seems, to me at least, obvious that Trump had inside track on what the new FBI line of enquiry was. The Donald is an incorrigible loudmouth, but he’s not stupid. The minute it broke, Trump declared it “bigger than Watergate”. Yesterday, Trump sent a rally wild by opening with, “Boy did I call this one right”. He was referring to sexter-in-chief Weiner, and his claim is fully justified: late last year he called for his Anthony’s wife Huma Abedin “to dump your husband because he is a serious liability”.

So: we have an electoral pollster, a media magnate supporter, and a new line of emails enquiry focused on the sexpest husband of a senior Clinton aide. Whatever the CIA thinks about private servers, more of the same would not be enough to get Comey to go public on “a new batch of emails”.

I suspect the initial emails scandal was a clear attempt to suggest that Hillary Clinton is so arrogant, she would risk national security to have her own server rather than State’s. But think on this:

Suppose there were exchanges about illegality and malpractice she wanted to write about without Government snoopers knowing about it?

Suppose Schoen has – as a pollster – either twigged or was tipped off to the reality that the Clintons have indulged in voter skullduggery?

Suppose Weiner – himself a political professional and used to the cut, thrust and dirty tricks of US elections – sent emails to his wife of an accusatory nature about how this district had been rigged or that voting machine fixed? (Such charges have followed Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign)

The new elements of late are first, the email author being Weiner, not Hillary; and second, the Murdoch-Weiner-Schoen link. If a sociopath like Rupert Murdoch has spotted a liability that forced him to volte-face, then Trump is absolutely right to say it will be something “bigger than Watergate”.

There are two additional possibilities: that Weiner – not the most discreet of men – made one or more references to Bill Clinton, airport runways, Loretta Lynch and a DoJ move to pull rank on the FBI. This would deliver a smoking gun into the hands of the anti-Lynch cabal inside the Bureau, which is substantial.

Second, that Weiner made one or more sexual references – either confessional or accusatory – in relation to Bill and/or Hillary Clinton – that themselves might have national security implications.

Either way, the bottom-line point is this: I think the nature of these new developments suggests strongly that it’s a mistake to see Emails1 as the same plot as Emails2.

Yahoo news reported over the weekend – quoting unnamed “government officials” – that when he informed Congress of the new line of enquiry, Comey had no idea what was in the new email batch. I’d bet 100-1 that the officials were from Justice, not the FBI: it is the most ridiculous suggestion what has already been a saga crammed with incredible spin.

Facing the risk of getting your backside burnt for all time, you – the boss of the FBI – inform Congress that you’re about to cause a Constitutional crisis, but you don’t even ask your staff what they’re getting animated about?

Of course he knew: it would a be a dereliction of his duty not to know.

This is why the ball is now very firmly in Director Comey’s court: the pressure on him to give more details is going to be like standing on Jupiter’s surface.

I think it is unbelievable that the FBI says they do not know what is in the emails because they don’t have a warrant to read them. They say that the “metadata” leads them to believe that some of them belong to Huma. Ask your self if you had the laptop in front of you would you look at some emails regardless of having obtained a warrant? The FBI knew they had a smoking gun in their hands and did not want the fact to come out after the election making it look like a cover up. Comey is too smart an operator to go out on the limb with only “metadata” to go on. The Clintons might actually go to jail …..now that would be amazing.

In June Abedin swore under oath that she had already handed over all devices on which she may have had State Department emails. It could prove rather tricky if any emails from HRC at State are discovered on the shared laptop. Could prove even trickier should any be designated “top secret”. .

If Clinton really wanted to clear this up and prove that this is all a ‘beat up’ she could tell Abedin to tell all about what emails are on the computer. She would known after all. I think Clinton knows exactly what is on the computer. ….and she knows that Comey is holding the cards. She resorting to her fall back mode of tarnishing the reputation of public officials. Watch for the next Trump expose….

Looking at and listening to Killary (and her network) I have to pinch myself. That this creature has been so blatantly groomed and manouvered by the globalist establishment to be crowned public monarch of its HQ at all costs…

WordPress strikes again….Slogger Stephen couldn’t get this to post, but it’s very good here it is pasted in:

Sucking up t’ EU in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won’t give us Independence
That was just a dream some of us had
Still stuck in the UK you see
But I don’t want to stay there
It’s too old and cold and settled in its ways there.

Oh, but Caledonia
Caledonia, Treaty of Rome
Even if the votes are rigged
In a second Referendum gig
Caledonia in the EU home.

I met a German on a Grecian isle
Who did the groat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept the Islands to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He was EU, through and through
And I might have stayed on with him there

If you aint got too much to hand….make ’em laugh:
Re Trump:
Would advise any doubting Thomas amongst you.
To keep in mind the fellow has had to survive, in what is a bit of a sewer!
And in that place he would be hard pressed .. not bump into the occasional tomtit…. and get a bit soiled.

The decision by Comey, who appears to be clean but was undoubtedly under great pressure, not to indict HC was illogical and ultimately a challenge to the rule of law. As long as the American electorate could be persuaded to accept her by a gamed media, however, this could be overlooked. It has eventually dawned on Washington and those who live in dark places that anti-establishment sentiment in the electorate is running so high that the preferred outcome is quite possibly or very probably unachievable.

Perhaps it’s a question of not so much what has been done albeit illegal, but of those that know of it. Anybody holding a lien over the POTUS and perhaps the FBI/CIA would be in a very powerful position would they not?

It certainly looks like Killary Klingon is about to be beamed up.
What puzzles me, though, is the blind loyalty to KK exhibited by the “enlightened”, “progressive” etc., etc. artistic elite.
The same artists, more or less, were also loud supporters of Billy Klingon, and the present prez.
The actual track record, especially on the international front, of the said presidents was a huge disappointment – to say the least.
So, is it just ideology and/or “religious” belief that explains the artists’ attitudes or something more?

What we do know about Hillary is that she used a private computer server to conduct Govt business intermixed with influence peddling to a wide variety of Foreign interests, which filled the pork barrel of the Clinton Foundation .
She deleted over 30k mails with an unrecoverable app called Bleach Bit, to prevent her pay for play scam being discovered
But the FBI are not completely stupid. When an email is sent there is also a receiver/receivers.
Some of these mails may have been discovered on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, estranged husband of Huma Abedin, aide to Hillary.
I consider this kerfuffle ,otherwise known as DickieLeaks or StrokeGate. because of Weiners proclivity to expose his member to a 15 year old girl on social media to be a distraction from the real behind the scenes power plays.
The TPTB are in a bind. Their candidate to continue their hegemonic wars and Financial
looting has lost all credibility.
Their control of the message to the population by their suborned Media is past its sell-by date , because of competition from the independent Alternative Media.
Trump is not house trained and is a loose cannon.
Choices are, to continue with the Empires wars to maintain hegemony or retrench and consolidate their home base of the USA and join a multi-polar world,
They have been check-mated in Syria and their military has proved ineffective, to expand further to maintain dollar supremacy
Thus the TPTB have decided to cut Hillary loose and attempt to control Trump while damping down the social disintegration, which their neoliberal and neocon policies have caused in the USA.
A repeat of FD Roosevelts New Deal seems to be in the offing, as advocated by Trump.
The alternative is revolution or a military coup de’tat.
TPTB will bide their time, but like a scorpion , they cannot control their instincts and will return to attempt their looting and control from another unexpected direction. Their only loyalty ever, is to power,control and money.

This is better than any soap opera. Better than Dallas! There is a question on timing though. It appears that the FBI investigators on the Wiener case, used metadata of the emails to confirm to their colleagues on the Clinton case, that something seriously fishy was afoot. Technically no Clinton related emails had been examined but the implications were serious enough to re-open the case depite DOJ demands not to do so. That explanation fits with why the warrants to examine the emails were only issued on Sunday.
What I find really interesting is that a well known DC lawyer by the name of DiGenova, stated that the laptops of Cheryl Mills et al, which were supposed to have been destroyed by the FBI as per the immunity deals, were not destroyed by the agents involved and are available for subpoena by the House Oversight Committee. Mr. Chaffetz, Chairman of the committee must think that Christmas has come early.
Going back to normal programming is going to be so boring folks.

————————–

I heard this afternoon CET that Huma & Anthony shared the laptop, if not bodily fluids. Also note a threader above heard same thing.
Practise, deceive, web, weave etc etc

Both the NYPD and the NY office of the FBI have seen the emails even if Washington claims not to have seen them yet. Will it come out before the election. Probably not but you can bet they will release something more on Trump.

—————————–
OAH, my last remaining highup US contact is in that exact milieu & she swears blind they haven’t.

JW..for hellary to want to write in secret about ‘malpractice’ implies that she is concerned about it.. its seems that malpractice is meat and drink to her.. so by extension she must be at war within her own or ‘uncle tom obummers’ lot.. like civil war..

As has been said before, they have been turning people away by the thousands owing to the fire/H&S risks from Trump’s appearances, yet by contrast Clinton has been unable to muster more than 40 to turn out for her.
Will all of the vassal states get off the hook with Trump in the White House? We could see a very different Europe if that is the case.

It is claimed that Huma Abedin also used the machine which contains the Weiner e-mail collection.

If so we have the delicious possibility that “top secret” e-mails which transited Clinton’s server between Clinton and Abedin have been available to Weiner. Then there are (some of) the missing e-mails from the Clinton server which my cover dirty campaign tricks and fund raising for the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was at State. The icing on the cake could be disguised e-mails between Barack Obama and Clinton via the Clinton server.

Could Turdock’s volte-face not be explained by the sudden realisation that Trump may, against all MSM predictions, be elected on November 8? Turdock must be desperate to protect his U.S. media investments. Fox News for example has been exposed for the Establishment shills they are to their core viewership during this election campaign. He must be back-pedalling as fast as his geriatric legs can manage at this point.

Like a weather system on a hot July evening the US political atmosphere is having a huge amount of energy pumped into it. Unlike a ‘normal’ ( I understand that is an abuse of the word ) US election process there are additional hidden layers in play.

I read the plethora of reports with increasing bemusement but one thing is for sure, the well has been poisoned by both sides and when the election is over the people will still want to drink.

Of course the reference to either confessional or accusatory sexual misconduct might allegedly refer to Bill’s proclivity and his alleged relationship with the disgraced Epstien? Then again, it might refer to something that we know nothing about in which case it might be even more of a revelation. It would appear that it is something distasteful as opposed to a national security issue now. Something that is much harder if not impossible to cover up should it get into the public domain.

“FBI Chief may have broken law over Clinton emails”
That’s currently the main headline on the BBC website.

Click on that and you then find this
“The Democratic leader in the US Senate says the head of the FBI may have broken the law by revealing the bureau was investigating emails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton.”

So a Democrat, who obviously supports Clinton says that the FBI chief may have broken the law.

It’s hardly news is it?

The real disturbing news is that the BBC, like Jon Snow on Channel 4 have clearly nailed their support to the Clinton mast. So much for impartial coverage of this election.
